Can't Hold Us Down

Can't Hold Us Down

So- what am I not s'pposed to have an opinion

Should I keep quiet just because I'm a woman

Call me a bitch 'cause I speak what's on my mind

Guess it's easier for you to swallow if I sat and smiled

When a female fires back suddenly big talker don't know how to act

So he does what every little boy would do

Makin' up a few false rumors or two

That for sure is not a man to me, slanderin' names for popularity

It's sad you only get your fame through controversy

but now it's time for me to come and give you more to say

Chorus:

This is for my grisl all around the world

Who have come across a man that don't respect your worth

Thinkin' all women should be seen not heard

So what do we do girls, shout out loud

Lettin 'em now we're gonna stand our ground

So lift your hand higher and wave 'em proud

Take  a deep breath and say it loud

Never can, never will

Can't hold us down

Nobody can hold us down...

Never can never will...

So- what am I not supposed to say what I'm saying

Are you offended with the message I'm bringin'

Call me whatever 'cause your words don'¡t mean a thing

Guess you ain't even a man enough to handle what I sing

If you look back in history it's a common double standard of society

The guy gets all the glory the more he can score

While the girl can do the same and yet you call her a whore

I don't understand why it's OK,

the guy can get away with it the girl gets named

All my ladies come together and make a change

And start a new beginning for us, everybody sang

Chorus

You're just a little boy

Think you're so cute, so coy

You must talk so big to make up for smaller things

You're just a little boy

All you do is annoy

You must talk so big to make up for smaller things

Repeat Chorus x2
